Chairman of Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) Ghulam Rahman will take over as the chairman of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on June 24 as the president has accepted his application for joining the office.
“I have been informed by the energy secretary verbally that the president has accepted my application for joining the anti-graft body as its chief,” said Ghulam Rahman while talking to The Daily Star yesterday.
“I will relinquish the charge of my office at BERC on June 23 and hope to join the ACC office the next day,” he added.
On May 24, Ghulam Rahman sent an application to the president seeking to be relieved of his current post at BERC following his appointment as ACC chief on April 30.
Former bureaucrat Ghulam Rahman, who retired as shipping secretary in 2004, was appointed as BERC chairman by the caretaker government.
Currently ACC Commissioner M Habibur Rahman is the acting chairman of the commission.
Former ACC chairman Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury resigned on April 2 without showing any reason just 85 days after the Awami League-led grand alliance assumed power.
